Hello, My development system: Zope Version: Zope 2.3.2 (binary release, python 1.5.2, linux2-x86) Python Version: 1.5.2 (#1, Aug 25 2000, 09:33:37) [GCC 2.96 20000731 (experimental)] System Platform: linux-i386 My deploy system: Zope Version: Zope 2.3.0 (source release, python 1.5.2, linux2) Python Version: 1.5.2 (#10, Feb 12 2001, 15:36:48) [GCC 2.95.2 19991024 (release)] System Platform: freebsd4 I get things working on my development environment, then export the folder, re-import on the deploy machine. I have a database which only allows selected 'users' update permission. I grouped these users and the update methods in a folder called 'Update'. Created a role called 'dbupdate', then disabled all 'Acquire permissions settings' for the Update folder, then enabled the following for the 'dbupdate' role: Access contents information Open/Close Database Connection(s) Query Vocabulary Search ZCatalog Use Database Methods Use Factories Use mailhost services View View History View management screens Enabled all settings for 'Manager' role. On my development machine, this does what I want it to. If someone trys to access the '/ADASS/Datbase/Update' URL it prompts them for a login/password. I exported the 'Update' folder, then imported it (Retain existing ownership info) into my deploy machine. On the deploy machine, I cannot get past the login prompt without getting 'Authorization Failed, Retry?'. If I press the 'Cancel' button, I then get: Zope Error Unauthorized You are not authorized to access title_or_id. I've re-checked and changed my 'users' login several times, and this is not the problem. I've tried setting 'Proxy' to 'Manager' and 'dbupdate' role on: Update/index_html, but this does not fix it either. I've looked at the security settings at the root level, and there are no glaring differences between the two machines. The only difference I see is the difference in the two Zope version numbers 2.3.0 vs 2.3.2. Suggestions?
